I have never had plastic surgery: Nicki Minaj

Singer Nicki Minaj insists she has never gone under the knife in a bid to enhance her appearance and that her changing features are all down to dramatic make-up.

The 30-year-old is famous for her eccentric fashion and loud make up and recent reports suggested that Minaj had undergone a surgery to change the appearance of her nose, reported Femalefirst.

"I have never had surgery on my face. They will see contour and they will think you had surgery on your nose, no, no, no. When people see my makeup they think all types of crazy things that I am doing to my skin, but it's makeup," Minaj said.

The singer also said she hopes to carve out a career as an actress and is looking for the right movie for her big screen debut.

"I would love to act, it just has to be the right project, the right movie. I have an agent, and we are looking at a couple of scripts, so we'll see."

Anne Hathaway has apologized to Italian designer, Valentino, for switching his Oscar dress at the last minute for a Prada gown.

She told People Magazine that it came to her attention late Saturday night that a dress would be worn to the Oscars, which was remarkably similar to the Valentino, which she had intended to wear, so she decided that for all involved it was best to change her plans.

She said that though she loves the dress she wore to the event, it was a difficult last minute decision, as she had looked forward to wearing Valentino in honour of the deep and meaningful relationship that she has enjoyed with the house and with Valentino himself.

Gaga furious at Kim Kardashian for 'stealing her designer'

The pregnant star has bombarded Gaga's collaborator with emails and even took a last-minute flight from Miami to New York to meet up with him, reported Sun online.

The Poker Face hitmaker, who was forced to axe the remainder of her Born This Way Ball tour after a case of joint inflammation condition synovitis left her unable to walk, has not taken well to Kardashian encroaching on her territory.

"Gaga was fuming when she discovered Nicola was working with Kim. She's fiercely protective of the people she works with and she's always been determined to have Nicola all to herself," said a source.
